Advice from our wedding expert, Jezebelle:

Hey, Jezebelle, how do I tell my guests the wedding is off? - Fickle Pickle

It’s all a matter of timing. If the breakup occurs at least two weeks prior to the wedding, mail an announcement card. If it occurs halfway through the reception because the groom catches you in the restroom with the best man, do not mail a card.

Hey, Jezebelle, is it OK to have a potluck reception where everyone brings a dish? - Bubba

Normally, no. But, if all the guests are residents of the trailer park where the reception is held, then it’s fine.

Hey, Jezebelle, everyone says we should just have chicken for the main entree at the reception. They say “everybody likes chicken”. Aren’t there some creative alternatives? - Rachel

We have a saying where I grew up: “almost everybody likes chicken, but only nuts don’t love squirrel”. Armadillo on the half-shell is good, too, with the right sauce.

Hey, Jezebelle, what is a “cake cutting fee” and why should I have to pay it? - On a Cash Diet

The cake cutting fee is very similar to union dues or protection money you would pay the mob. It’s just to remind you who’s in charge. I would pay it if I were you.
